Vegan Brownies

Over the past few months, I’ve been complaining about the results of Jane’s vegan baking efforts. Don’t get me wrong… she’s been complaining too. Overall, we’ve come to the conclusion that vegan baked goods just aren’t as good as traditional baked goods. And while we miss the olden days of Princess Cake (the most amazing cake — genoise, marzipan, whipped cream, raspberry filling… mmm, princess cake) and other goodies, we’re willing to make this “sacrifice.” Well, as of today, that’s changed. Jane made the vegan brownie recipe from “The Joy of Vegan Baking” … and oh my god it’s amazing.

These brownies are not too sweet. They don’t have that “hmm that’s different” taste that many vegan baked goods are subject too. These brownies taste exactly like BROWNIES. They’re so good that Jane is making me take the remainder in to work tomorrow because she doesn’t trust herself to be around them. And she’s already planning to make a second batch to welcome our new neighbors this weekend. Who needs Starbuck’s vegan brownies when you can make these at home.
